Walk to Downtown CF!

PjRating, 5 stars4 days ago

The Walnut house does not disappoint . I've stayed here several times. After a long journey, it's great walking into a clean, beautiful cozy home. Sitting in the backyard was so peaceful, going downtown is "a must do". The beds are comfy, the kitchen spotless and it had everything we needed. The home is so nicely decorated, with plenty of space for our little gatherings. Susan is amazing to work with, always gets back to me right away, she made a special accommodation for me! These are just a few of many reasons why I keep booking this sweet gem, The Walnut House!

Apartment in Vinton

Perfect 1-bedroom rental unit with parking

Cory & RobRating, 5 stars5 months ago

This Airbnb was phenomenal. The space was beautiful, the kitchen had everything we needed. The bed was just right - not too firm yet still supportive. I loved how they supplied a variety of bed linens so we could find the right warmth level. Bath linens were plentiful and high quality. My only suggestions would be to add a second towel hook in the bathroom, a couple robe hooks in the bedroom (to hang your clothes) and maybe a small bistro-sized dining table. The WiFi was a little spotty sometimes but worked well most of the time. Overall this apartment was comfortable, spacious and close to everything. By far the best place to stay in Vinton and honestly one of the best Airbnbs we’ve ever stayed at, period. We will 100% be staying here in the future.

Cozy downtown studio!

JillRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What a wonderful place to stay in downtown Waverly Tim was the best host he gave me upfront information that was very helpful and checking in into his studio apartment. During the day, he stayed in communication with us to make sure everything was perfect and then he let us know what was expected of us before we left so it may check out super easy. We would definitely recommend his space and renting from him.
